From Dewey to the Darkroom with Christian Marcum
Episode 40
Monday, 16 June, 2025
This episode spotlights Arizona native and film photographer Christian Marcum, the creative force behind Film Is Dead Studio. Christian shares his path from growing up in small-town Dewey to becoming a key part of Phoenix’s analog revival. He reflects on his early days in the darkroom, how building a tiny home setup reignited his love for the process, and why he’s fully committed to black-and-white film. Christian also opens up about his transition from casual shooter to serious artist, how overexposure changed his approach to printing, and the deeper emotional connection he finds in analog work. With a solo show and photo book on the horizon, Christian talks about what drives his art and the value of staying intentional in a fast-paced digital world.
